We haven't been flooded like the properties on your news - we luckily live over 700 meters above sea level and nowhere near the coast or a river. Everywhere here is sodden but we are so lucky compared to so many. People just had minutes to get out and had to leave everything behind and run - many properties will need knocking down. It will be years before the land will be fit for purpose. The farmers have lost lots of their livestock and so many will have nothing left at all. The sea has advanced onto land and the salt water will cause havoc for crop farmers for a long time.

Lucy, we'd invite you over here but it looks as though the rain has finally found us! We have you and your fellow countrymen in our thoughts these days as we know Mother Nature is reeking havoc in your part of the world !

(((Waving))) Hi pretty girls, we can send you some snow, 'cause we have more than we need! We live 500 feet above sea level in Pa. and we usually have some kind of breeze. Someone ordered more snow....we think it was Punxsutawny Phil to prove his 6 more weeks of winter prediction! (((Raspberries Phil!))) =^Y^=Thomas & theBoyz

How lovely to have some sun! We just had a warning issued for mega snows and ice, with wide spread power outages possible. We sure hope that doesn't happen! We'll be thinking of you as the nasty white stuff falls,
